i will say if you look at mitt romney's debate performances early on as a candidate and in the primary, he can be a very effective debater. it would not surprise me if he outperformed the president in that first debate. remember, the president is there, it's the first time in four years that someone really gets in his face and challenges him sort of in the same room. he doesn't have that. and so that would be a chance to turn it, but he really has to be able to convince people that he has something specific that would be superior. i don't think he has to say i'm exponentially better than the president as an alternative. he has to say at least i'm marginally better and a safer bet. >> and also the format is interesting because even though it's only one moderator, jim lehrer and so forth, there's going to be a lot of room after the first two minutes back and forth for the moderator to guide like a 10 or 11 minute discussion of each of six topics. people haven't looked at that yet. that's unstructured territory which no politician likes, and if romney can take advantage of that, it could
